Be it known that I, SIMON A. JAROSLAW- SKI-FIORET, a citizen of Ppland, and a resident of the city ofNew York. borough of York, Twin-Compact Vanity following is a full, clear,

tion.

Improved and exact descripr Thisinvention has relation to vanity cases and has particular reference to an improvement in twin compact vanitycases. v

The present invention contemplates a vandesigned to respectively house rouge and powder compacts and which functions when open to expose both compacts simultaneously for use.

The outstanding object of the present in.-

vention resides in the provision of a vanity case in which the mirror supporting element is interposed between the two compacts for the purpose of separating the same when the. case is in closed condition, upon opening of the case the single mirror whereby will beconveniently arranged for facilitating the application of the rouge and powder.

Asa

' plates a twin compact vanity case in the mirror supporting further object the invention contemwhich element having hinged connection with one of the container sections operates,

when swung to its closed position, to partially extend within both containers to servees a means for frict onally maintaining the same in closed relation.

As a still further object the invention comprehends a vanity case of the character set. forth which is comparatively simple in its construction and mode of operation,-

. which, is inexpensive to produce, and which is highly efiicient in its urpose.

manufacture and With the above recited and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth in the following specification, particularly pointed out in the appended panying drawings,

claims and illustrated in the accomit being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the full extent'indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.

In the drawingsconstructed in accordance with the invention,

'tical construction, shape and size.

gagement with the of reference, 10 and 11 designate respec' tively a pair of compact container members. or sections which are of substantially iden- Each member or section includes a bottom 12 and a marginal upstanding flange 13. said flanges being provided with aligned hinge knuckles 14 at one side through which a hinge pin 15 extends to establish a hinged connection between the same whereby said 7 sections may be swung to closed positionwith the free edges of the marginal flanges in contact, or to open position as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 whereby the members or sections are disposed alongside each other. Vithin each section a compact retaining ele ment 16 is arranged. which comprises a vertical flange or wall 17 and a horizontal flange or wall 1.8 at the upper end which is spaced below the free upper edge of the 8 flange or wall 13 of the container members or sections. The section 10 has hingedly secured as at 19 to a point at right angles to its hinged connection with the section 11, an intermediate member or section 20 which is of a shape and configuration similar to the sections and of a size to snugly fit within the open ends of the sections when the same are in closed relation. The member 20 is provided with a mirror retaining element 21 which secures the mirror 22 in place within the intermediate section 20. The intermediate section is so connected with the outer section 10 that when the case is folded the intermediate section partially extends into the open end of each of the outer sections and frictionally engages with the same to retain said outer sections in rel atively closed relation against casual opening movement The horizontal wall or flange 18 further constitutes a shelf for nintermediate sec ion whereby to limit. the inward swinging movement of the same into the section 10. The intermediate section has formed in its outer side wall at a point diametrically opposite its hinge 19 a recess 23 for the insertion of the finger or thumbnail to facilitate the swinging of the same to open position. The outer side wall of the intermediate section which is diametrically opposite the hinged connection between he sections 10 and 11 is provided with a catch lug orprojection 24, while the inside of the flange 13 of the section 11 at the corresponding side is provided with a keeper depression 25 whlch is adapted to coact with the catch lug to form a catch or fastening means.

In use and operation when the case is in closed condition the user swings the section 11 outwardly to a position alongside the in addition to functioning as a means for.

retaining the sections in closed relation.

1 claim:

1. A vanity case comprising a pair of outer compact carrier sections each having an open end and a closed end hingedly connected at the open ends for contiguous closed relation, an intermediate mirror carrying section hingedly connected to one of the outer sections and adapted when the case is closed to extend partially into the open end of each outer section for frictionally retaining said sections in closed relation, and means spaced inwardly from the open end of each of the outer sections constituting stops for engaging the opposite sides of the intermediat projection of the same i outer sections.

2. It vanity case con er compact carrier sect open. end and a closed end hinged tnected at the open ends for contiguous closed relation, an intermediate mirror carrying: section hingedly connected {toone of the outer sections and adapted when the case is closed to extend partially into the open endoi each outer section for :trictionally retaining said sections in closed relation, means spaced inwardlyfrom the open end of each of the outer sections constituting stops tor engaging the opposite sides of the intermediate section to limit the projection of the same into the ends of said outer sections. said means comprising a horizontal hinge frictionally fitted within each outer section, and a vertical integral flange engaging the closed end of each outer section.

3. A. rarity case comprising a pair of outcr sections each having an open end and a closed end, a hinged connection therebetween at the open ends, an intermediate section hingedly connected to one of the outer sections, interengageable fastening means provided respectively on the remaining outer section and the said intermediate section, the intermediate section adapted when the case is closed, to partially extend into the open end of each section for retaining said sections in closed relation, said outer sections constituting compact containers, and means within each outer section for retaining the compacts therein, said means engageable with the intermediate section for limiting the projection of said intermediate section into the open ends of the outer sections.
